NOTE: Heavy cloud cover or rain may make it difficult to acquire a satellite fix. Using Run Mode Use Run mode when you need to be able to view speed, distance, pace, or calorie data while a workout is in progress. You might want to view this data to help you build endurance at a specific speed, or to focus on completing a 5k race within a particular goal time. You cannot view data for your current lap from Run mode. Run mode and Chrono mode share the timer, so you can switch freely between the two modes while the workout is running by pressing MODE. Switch to Chrono mode if you want to view lap data. NOTE: You can take splits in Run mode, but you can view individual lap data only in Chrono mode. When the timer is running, several types of information about the workout are displayed: Workout time Distance Pace Speed Calories burned Current time NOTE: For the most accurate speed, distance, and pace calculations, use the watch in clear weather. Starting, Stopping, and Saving a Workout Starting a Workout 1. Press MODE until RUN displays. 2. Press + or - to select GPS (to use the GPS to record workout data) or INDOOR (to record time data only), then press OK. A battery life message appears. Press OK to acknowledge it. If the battery life is too low, charge the watch as described in Charging the Watch. A memory remaining message appears. Press OK to acknowledge it.

While the timer is paused, hold SAVE to save the workout and reset the timer. All collected data is saved. See Reviewing Workouts for instructions on viewing saved data. Taking Splits What Are Lap and Split Times? Lap time is the length of an individual segment of your workout. Split time is the time elapsed from the beginning of your workout through the current segment. When you take a split, you have completed timing one segment (such as one lap) and are now timing the next segment. The graph below represents the lap and split times for a workout in which 4 laps were taken. LAP 1 7:11 MIN LAP 2 7:50 MIN LAP 3 7:08 MIN LAP 4 7:30 MIN 7:11 MIN SPLIT 1 15:01 MIN SPLIT 2 22:09 MIN SPLIT 3 29:39 MIN SPLIT 4 Taking a Split While the timer is running, press SPLIT to take a split. The lap and split time for the lap you completed is displayed, and the watch begins timing the new lap. Individual lap data is saved when you save and reset the workout. See Viewing Workout Data for instructions on viewing saved lap data. You can press VIEW while in Chrono mode to view data for a lap in progress. See Changing the Display View for instructions on changing Chrono mode display screens. Using Chrono Mode Use Chrono mode when you need to be able to view time and distance data only for the lap in progress. For example, you might use this data to measure consistency of times among 1-mile legs of the same run. All data tracked in Run mode is still tracked when you are in Chrono mode, but the data you can view in Chrono mode is more limited; you can only view data about the current lap in Chrono mode. Chrono mode and Run mode share the timer, and you can press MODE to switch between the two modes. Switch to Run mode if you want to view speed, distance, pace, or calorie data for the entire workout. NOTE: For the most accurate speed, distance, and pace calculations, use the watch in clear weather. Starting, Stopping, and Saving a Chrono Workout Starting a Workout 1.
